On Sept. 24, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will approach Earth and release its sample return capsule into the atmosphere on the path to land at the Department of Defense's Utah Test and Training Range. The event makes it the first U.S. asteroid sample return.
The touchdown will mark the end of seven_year journey to explore asteroid Bennu, collect a sample from its surface, and deliver it to Earth for study. Scientists around the world will study the sample over the coming decades to learn about how our planet and solar system formed, as well as the origin of organics that may have led to life on Earth.
